where is the 'lock' displayed for ssl pages in firefox 7.0.1
in previous versions of firefox i saw a padlock that would be 'locked' when i was on an ssl page. since upgrading to ver 6x, and now 7x, i can not seem to find that indicator to confirm the page is secure nor do i see an 'option' that allows it to be displayed within the browser somewhere.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
